9. Wash your dishes right after you use them. There's hardly any scrubbing involved. It takes way less time than you think it will.
8. Constipation is one of the worst feelings ever. Eat fiber or else.
7. Pricks and jerks actually exist in the real world. Whether they are an acquaintance or coworker, treat them as if they were having a bad day. There is a reason why that person is a prick to begin with.
6. Your metabolism is going to start slowing down. You'll notice. The trick is to find an active hobby like dancing or rock climbing so it doesn't feel like exercise. Also, more people exercise than you originally thought.
5. Deal with responsibilities head on. Problems get worse with time.
4. Not making a choice counts as making a choice.
3. Customize solutions for situations that you regularly encounter. For example, I feel better the second I start writing. It'll be a rough start, but it's sure to work.

1. It takes a true effort to maintain friendships and make new ones. In school you were thrown together and easily fell into becomes friends. It's not like that anymore. Your acquaintances have no way of knowing you want to be friends with them. Invite them out, talk to them, and schedule group activities in advance.
I really love your blog. The amount of energy and passion that fuels your writing is not only impressive but quite inspiring. I also struggle with depression and anxiety in many forms. To see another human being collect, organize and subsequently begin to destroy those uncertainties one by one is pretty beautiful. It's almost as if we are comparing notes about life when I read your blog and that is something that can really ease a mind. It can help people and i'm sure it does. It is evident that you see this blog as self therapy. It's learning the process of how someone else thinks. I think it's great and think you definitely should turn it into a full blown website. You are a great writer.
